NETs in AFOLU

IKEM explores the legal framework for negative emission technologies in agriculture and forestry.

Project

Without the use of negative emission technologies (NETs), it will be difficult to achieve the 1.5°C target of the Paris Climate Agreement. NETs can be used to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and to recycle and store them. In a study, IKEM examines the international, European and national legal frameworks for NETs in the AFOLU sector (agriculture, forestry and other forms of land use). The study identifies a gap in the current regulation of NETs and makes recommendations for action. NETs can only unfold their climate impact with a coherent legal framework.
